There is an in person interview, background check, multiple IQ / Competency tests, there is also a personality test. If you are accepted you spend either 4 years in ROTC through college or 3 months in intense "Boot Camp" Style officer training school. It's not easy but it is definitely worth it.

A personality test and the on-on-one interview are the first things they do.

Concentrate on the questions being asked and be completely forthcoming with your past. Do not hide anything or you will end up wasting their time and yours.
